‘Hot Chocolate’ is an eye-catching and rather unique rose. Vivid, burnt-orange flower buds open into incredible and smoky chocolate-red blooms against a lush background of dark green leaves. Each flower is accompanied by an intense old-rose fragrance that will fill the air, and they make wonderful cut flowers too!
This rose is very easy to grow and disease resistant, so despite looking exotic, is even perfect for beginners, with big flowers that grow up to 10cm across, and a great fragrance too.
Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure that this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence, for a stunning display for many years to come.
Supplied as a freshly potted, professional quality plant in a 3L pot, growing to a height of 75cm and a width of 45cm. Please note at certain times of the year this variety may be supplied in a 4L pot.
Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.
Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.
We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.
Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.
Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.
Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
